ENDORSES THE PLAN.
Architect Rosenplaenter, in reply to
a request to speak out on the proposed
ordinance governing the erection oil
future brick buildings, heartily in.
dorsed the plan. He says: "Walls
under any consideration, should be Of
sufficient thickness to prevent two
joists from touching each other, and
q space of at least from four to eight
inches Of solid brick work should be
between the ends of the joists. The
system TO corbel out walls for re.
ception OF joists is very good one
under certain circumsta pces, but has
to be watched very carefully where ap.

THE DUMMY BUSINESS.
President Haddsn asked to have the
dummy business brought up, and gave
a synopsis OF the proceedings so far.
The matter rested with the mseting at
Desoto Street engine house lsst Satur-
day night, which adopted resolutions
protesting against the line running out
the thoroughlare. Since then he had
instructed oMsj. Meriwether to draw
up profiles OF another route from
corner Of Gsyoso and Short Third
streets to Beale Street Market House |;
thence out Hadden avenue. Mr.. l..
Lehman appeared to represent the
committee OF Desoio street property
owners and briefly explained the
grounds of objection. Capt. Randle
moved to have the word Desoto
stricken from the contract with the
company. Carried. The usual wrangle
ensued; various routes were suggested,
with the customary result. Discus.
sions were waged by representatives
Of the enterprise, asking that the city
keep its agreement with them to get
the line to its limits. Judge Latham
finally asked If the Council would
give them right Of way over the Short
Third route to the corner Of Union
and Second. President MADDEN re-
marked that wherever railroads went
the street is gone. 81 don't think the
road has ruined Main street." inter-
rupted Judge Latham. SIT has come
so darned near it that there is no fun
in riding a mule over it," promptly re-
Joined the mule fancier, and a hearty
laugh followed.
To settle the business, Col. Patter-
son moved that the line start from the
corner Of Second and Gayoso, out
Short Third, thence out Hadden
avenue to Calhoun, Calhoun to Desoto,
Deeoto to Broadway, Broadway to
Poston avenue. This passed unani-
mously, and the dummy railroad men
left in contented frame OF mind.
RIGHT OF WAY.
The heirs of Samuel Mosbey an.
nounced that they were willing to
grant right of way through their
property, lying between Alabama and
Robson streets, for the extension of
Mosbsy street, on the following con-
diions: Thai 1t will be graded prop.
erly, fenced in with good plank fence,
and such sidewalk laid as they may
be compelled to put down on Ala
bama street front. Accepted.
A lengthy argument on the proposed
opening Of Senatobia street followed
the favorable report Of President Had
den, Col. Montgomery and Mai. Burke
Both speakers maintained
that 1t had never bSsp a street, 10 far
as the public was concerned, and con-
ditions were entirely sgsinst it. The
city would gain more benefits from II
ss at present situated than II opened
up, as contemplated Improvements
would then be stopped. Maj. Meri-
wether stated that the records showed
it to be street in reality and right,
but there was no necessity for its
opening. In former years portion OF
it had been used, but was long since
abandoned. President Hidden au-
nounced that all he insisted upon was
